About This Image:

Just before I left Ireland, I had one last incredibly sunny day that just happened to coincide with a day trip out to see some of Ireland’s oldest and most fabled sites. Pictured here is one of those places, the legendary Hill of Tara.

This high ground in County Meath has been a place of importance stretching back well beyond recorded history. In more recent memory, the Hill of Tara was the symbolic home of Ireland’s High King, but archaeology in the last century has shown an even older history of burial mounds and chamber tombs – similar ones are still found intact in the nearby Boyne Valley.

The famous hill likely gained importance over the passing years because it is quite literally the high ground. The figures you see in this photo taking in the view are able to see for miles and miles, which has long been a tactical advantage.

The subtle curves in the top of the Hill of Tar are the remnants of long lost mounds and ditches from earlier occupiers of this hill. I will always be fascinated by these faint echoes from the past. It’s interesting to imagine what may have happened beneath your feet in years gone by but in places like the Hill of Tara, you can literally get a glimpse into that past just from studying the terrain.

This was my favorite vantage point on the top of the Hill of Tara on that beautifully sunny day. I loved the sight of those small figures standing against the deep blue sky and how that sky contrasts with the grass, but the reason this photo won out over the rest is the woman in red on the right-hand side. Her inclusion in this landscape gives the blue and green a definite pop.

Have you walked along the top of the ancient Hill of Tara? Does this print remind you of a beautiful day exploring ancient and sacred Ireland? I’d love to hear what attracted you to this Irish print?

Received the print today! It’s gorgeous! I really can’t thank you enough.

I’ll frame it and hang it in my apartment in NYC as soon as I get back.

I framed the picture of our house and put it under the tree for Sid.

He loved it!

Yvonne in Georgia

I just dropped it off at the framing shop on Friday and had a look at it…. it’s absolutely beautiful. I purchased it to replace a painting of Paris and to be honest the way that you have captured Dublin on the river at night makes it look more beautiful than Paris. Beautiful photo, you are very talented.

Originally I purchased these cards to give for Easter, but they are so beautiful I decided to frame and keep them for myself.

Mark Tisdale’s work is excellent.

The cards are very high quality. Images are sharp and colors are vibrant!

I’m excited to show off your work to my friends and family. You are one of the most talented photographers I’ve seen and it’s a pleasure to own your work.

Coco in Georgia

I took the photograph of the house to be framed and the young lady who helped me choose the mats and frame was so taken with the photography that she asked for your name so she could see more on the web.

If you hear from an Erica I want a commission!

Charlotte in Georgia

Love it… the print arrived today and looks awesome!!

Now I just need to get a suitable frame and get it up where it can be enjoyed.

I ordered a framed print of the Macon County Clinic and Nurses house . My mother… worked there from 1956 until the clinic closed. Now 80 and retired for many years , she often talks about the many people she remembers from those days, My brother and myself were all born and treated there by Dr. Fred and Dr. Tom. We thought the framed picture would be something she would get great joy from and probably stir a few memories. It is a beautiful artwork and looking forward to seeing her face when she gets this gift on Christmas. Thanks for the Great GIFT!!

Terri in Georgia

…thanks to Facebook and finding Mark E Tisdale, a special print will become a memory in my parents’ home this Christmas…

Esther in Stoke On Trent

Just wanted to let you know, for Christmas, my sister got me a GIANT photo from you of the mountains and sheep in Connemara (Ireland). It is really beautiful and I love it. Gotta have it matted and framed next.
